Corrosion protection of material handling equipment

Corrosive environments
The location of the equipment usually decides what type of paint system to use to ensure correct and desired corrosion protection. The corrosive environments vary greatly, and we find material handling equipment present in most mining operations - from pit to processing to the export terminal.  As a result the paint systems specified to protect the equipment will also differ.
 
A stacker reclaimer operating in dry inland conditions handling iron ore, will have a different paint system than that of a stacker reclaimer handling the same material at the port side.
 
Selecting the right solution
Selecting the right coating solution that will meet the demands and challenges set, means finding the optimal balance between many different parameters – product technology, expected life time of the coating system, application, time, financial aspects as well as attention to Health, Safety and Environment.
